I added some new features to the Space Data Navigator tool, including a guided tour to show what it allows you to do and the ability to share links (like this) to custom charts you make. This chart shows the NRO's Starshield satellites and how quickly they launched.

73% of senior software engineers in Defense & Space say they would trade compensation for flexibility. How many programs are structured with that reality in mind? Over the past year, Luneus held direct conversations with senior software and hardware engineers working inside active U.S. Defense & Space programs. Not surveys. Not job applications. Real discussions with mostly passive engineers evaluating risk, stability, and leadership. We’ve compiled the patterns in our new report: 2026 U.S. Defense & Space Report: Senior Engineers’ Salary, Work Models & What Moves Them If you lead engineering, operations, or talent in a defense or space program, the insights will be relevant.

In this highly detailed “A History of Large Language Models,” Gregory Gundersen walks us through the intellectual lineage behind today’s large language models (LLMs). This article covers key building blocks like distributed representations, sequence transducers, and the progression of architectures that enabled modern AI systems. The author argues that what we often treat as “black box” models actually rest on decades of foundational research, and underscores why understanding that history is essential for responsibly shaping the future of AI. https://lnkd.in/e8zBex-W

Redshred's Navy Phase I SBIR for Semantic Information for Faults, Troubleshooting, and Extraction from Documents (SIFTED) system option has been executed. Developed in response to the Navy's need for maintaining naval aviation readiness, SIFTED significantly enhances maintenance efficiency by accelerating the development workflow surrounding engineering requests. This advancement brings us one step closer to transforming naval aviation maintenance through AI-powered efficiency. Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/eaxxj7Ai #defense #AI #aviation
